You can use vLLM as an optimized worker implementation in FastChat. It offers advanced continuous batching and a much higher (~10x) throughput. See the supported models here.
-
Install vLLM.
pip install vllm
-
When you launch a model worker, replace the normal worker (
fastchat.serve.model_worker
) with the vLLM worker (fastchat.serve.vllm_worker
). All other commands such as controller, gradio web server, and OpenAI API server are kept the same.python3 -m fastchat.serve.vllm_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3
If you see tokenizer errors, try
python3 -m fastchat.serve.vllm_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --tokenizer hf-internal-testing/llama-tokenizer
If you use an AWQ quantized model, try ''' python3 -m fastchat.serve.vllm_worker --model-path TheBloke/vicuna-7B-v1.5-AWQ --quantization awq '''
